VIDEO: PM Imran Khan spotted with Pakistan’s ‘nuclear launch codes’

Prime Minister Imran Khan has been spotted with “Pakistan’s nuclear launch codes”, a foreign journalist claimed Tuesday.

Earlier this week, PM Imran was interviewed by BBC’s John Simpson. The interview that came following heightened tensions with India, discussed future ties of the two neighbouring countries.

With the premier walking away after the interview, he was followed by an officer carrying a briefcase that Simpson revealed held “nuclear codes”.

“Following him [Imran Khan], I was told, the officer carrying the briefcase that holds Pakistan’s nuclear codes,” he said.

While what the briefcase really holds remains a mystery, here’s what Twitterati have to say.

One version is the bag opens up as a shield against bullets etc.

Unbelievable that this is from the BBC. That briefcase contains a bulletproof shield, not nuclear launch codes. https://t.co/KrubSg6k5S
